The Week #304
by James- π¬π§ I am in the UK for a short trip for work. It's good to be in these timezones and spend time with my team. The weather has also been really good, such that I continue to believe that the weather isn't as bad as they say it is in London. Or maybe I just time it right, every. single. time.
- βοΈ On the plane I spent most of the time listening to music and watching the world go be underneath us. I really enjoyed flying over Alaska and Canada seeing the ice. Not normally something you get to see.
Ice sheets from 30,000 feet
The remainder of the time I spent watching 2 films: Nuremberg and Rental Family. Both are really good films and I recommend a watch. Maybe don't watch the former on an airplane if you have the option. However, it is important that was face these realities with eyes-wide-open. - π The London marathon was on Sunday and the city was a buzz. My hotel was full of runners carbbing up beforehand and I loved seeing all the runners and supporters around town all day long. I too went for a run, but it was only 5km. Amazing to think that the winner won it in less than 2 hours and it looked like he had some left in the tank as he crossed the finish line.

The Week #303
by James- π©» My upper back was wicked tight for a while so I finally gave in and went to the massage and chiro (sounds like those kfc and taco bell locations). The massage did the trick and I feel like the crunch may have also helped? Less convinced there π§. But it did make me realize that when I WFH I spend a lot of time looking left in some way or another so I am facing the camera in my laptop. Getting an actual camera that mounted to the top of my external monitor would probably be better for my posture and such at work.
- π More for last week, but I finished reading Feel Good Productivity. It was an easy read, but mostly I finished it because I started it. Biggest take away? Maybe just reminders when you're having trouble getting started on something it's usually because there's a lack of clarity what, why, or when for the tasks, figuring that out gets you going. Usually.
- π Next up I've started reading Die with Zero. I think I like the idea of thinking about dying with a whole bunch of money a waste of our labor. Rather than saving as much as we can for dividends/growth in our accounts, experiences while we're young/able also pay dividends over time, but in terms of memories. Also I looked up when the US gov thinks I'll croak and by their numbers I'm at about the halfway point, which is sobering. I'm still aiming for 100 though. Not going to let the man keep me down.
- π¨π» I discovered an Italian disco group Mind Enterprises. The 'stash... hell, the entire look is cool as hell. Check it. Suddenly find myself wanting a negroni.Β
